...on the UK Ebay and obviously this will be important to me. Anyhing else I should check on with this model before purchase?
It's to replace the wife's 280CE and (sort of) match the S2. She'll only drive an autobox - aren't they JUST difficult.

Sorry didn't say - this a circa 1980 model.
I should know - I've read it somewhere - what do they say about short term memory loss - sorry, what was your name again?

I had a 1979 US model and from the doors back it was definitely a galvanized body. Stripped it to bare metal to paint it. The front fenders I am not to sure about, as they were quite rusty and didnt seem to be galvanized when I stripped them. Maybe they were replacements though because my 87 924S is ALL galvanized panels.

Porsche introduced hot-galvanized bodyshell as standard in 1975 or '76, I forget, in all their cars.
You for sure have it on a 1980 924 unless someone has ground it off doing body work.

Thanks all.
Does the 924 oddometer read 6 figures???
How interchangable are seats and things??
Spare for engine, transmission - Audi - Porsche - VW ??

5 figure speedo on that one in US, Interior parts are very similar to the up to 85.5 944's and the 87-88 924S. Mechanically very different from the 944's and the 87-88 924S. Actually the engine on the early 924 is the same as one they used in a VW van of some sort (not the VW microbus) and I think it is an Audi engine so it may be used in some sort of old Audis. Transmission is unique to the car I think, and different from newer 944 and 924's

Bad news. Emailed the seller and it's BEIGE.
A BEIGE Porsche - yuck.
My wife said "I wont EVER drive a beige car - I don't care if it is a Porsche". (Or a Ferrari or a MacLaren or a ... etc...etc......)
So in spite of all your help I'm stuffed.
Never mind I'll look for another - preferably a white (to match mine) 944 with the autobox she insists on.
Thanks for your posts.
